Tales of Spring was inspired by stories of a magical land where wearing knits is not confined to a few months of false winter. Knitters can show off their skills year-round and even wear a knitted tank to a spring picnic without worrying about being crushed by humidity.

This tank is worked in the round from the bottom up. The scalloped hem is accomplished by working short rows on both the back and front. The box pleat at the straps creates ease when worn, but could be tacked closed if a tighter fit is desired. Final strap length can be shortened for a snugger fit in the back. Panel stitch pattern is only charted.

Sample is 36.75” size; model is 33.5” bust
